Chinese Food Culture

In this page of Chinese food culture, I introduce some food tradition we have for different Chinese festivals.

For example, what are the tradition for Chinese New Year celebration, and what are the typical Chinese new year dishes. In China we also have other famous festival like Duanwu Festival, also know as the Dragon Boat Festival, which is also introduced in this section. There will be more to come. I have planned to write somethings for Middle Autumn Festival (Moon Festival) in the future.

Chinese Food Culture & Festival Food

Whether Chinese celebrate the Christmas and are there any special
Chinese Food for festivals? Here I gave some examples of Chinese home
cooking dishes when I was invited to another Chinese family during Christmas.

In the northern China, the most important New Year dish is dumplings. In the south, people eat more rice than wheaten food and have rice cake for celebration. In this page I show you how we make dumplings at home (including a video).

What are the popular foods during Duanwu Festival in Hunan China, and what is the historical story behind the traditional festival food, Zongzi? Also I introduced one food many foreigners may hate, the Chinese century eggs.
